ngSUMMARYThe technology landscape and how customersconsume and use SAP software has undergonedramatic changes. Not only are our customers’employees using the Digital Core (i.e., SAP ERP,SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud), theirbusiness partners, consumers, third-party applications, IoT devices, automated systems, andRPA/bots are also using the Digital Core. Indirect/Digital Access is when people or thingsuse2 the Digital Core without directly logging intothe system. It occurs when humans, any device orsystem, indirectly use the Digital Core via non-SAPintermediary software, such as a non-SAP frontend, a custom-solution, or any other third-partyapplication. It also occurs when non-humandevices, bots, automated systems, etc. use theDigital Core in any way. It is hard to measureuse accessing via Indirect/Digital Access, henceSAP is modernizing its pricing model to be moretransparent and predictable.mains unchanged, new pricing model for Indirect DigitalFigure 1: Use of SAP ERP and Types of AccessERP Pricing ModelAvailable April 2018 Onwardssedly)Outcome-BasedUser-Based§ User Licensenseensend Service Ordersse OrdersSAP ERP§ Document LicenseDigitalCoreS/4 HANA§ No additional ERP license needed1n Extensions containing the required measurement functionality.

SAP On Premise Contractual Definition of Use: ‘Use’ is defined as to activate the processing capabilities of the Software,load, execute, access, employ the Software, or display information resulting from such capabilities. Use may occur by wayof an interface delivered with or as a part of the Software, a Licensee or third-party interface, or another intermediary system.All ‘use’ of SAP software, regardless of the method of access, requires an appropriate license.3/7 20xx SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company.

PRICING MODEL OBJECTIVESThe new pricing approach for Indirect/Digital Accessfocuses on business outcomes and provides an objectivemeasure for the use of the Digital Core.NEW INDIRECT/DIGITAL ACCESS PRICING MODELSAP has idenfitied nine document types that representsystem generated records of commonly valued businessoutcomes from the Digital Core. Use of the Digital Corethrough Indirect/Digital Access will be licensed based onthese nine document types; there is no additional chargefor other document types. Counting Documents.– One time create cost. SAP counts and charges forthe creation of documents triggered via Indirect/DigitalAccess.– Read, update, delete included. All read, updates, anddeletion of documents via Indirect/Digital Access donot incur an additional charge.– Initial document creation only. SAP counts only theinitial documents created. For example: a salesdocument created by Indirect/Digital Access is automatically processed in the Digital Core resulting inthe creation of invoice, material or financial documents.SAP would charge only for the sales documentsinitially created and not for the subsequentdocuments.– Multiplier. Not all documents are weighted equally.Most documents are weighted at 100% (multiplier 1),documents of lower value and more frequently usedare weighted at 20% (multiplier 0.2). Volume Discounts. the higher the number of documents,the lower the price per document.4/7 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

INDIRECT/DIGITAL ACCESS DOCUMENTLICENSE CALCULATION A Document License reflects the total documentslicensed for a 12-month period. This total is thesum of all document types times their respectivemultiplier. New SAP customers with no historical data mayestimate the number of documents neededby using benchmark data applicable to thecustomer’s business. For existing customers,an estimate of needed documents can becalculated using historical data. SAP is planning to provide customers with toolsto monitor and measure ERP use.Document TypePRICING FOR DIRECT AND SAP APPLICATIONACCESSDirect Human Access to the Digital Core continuesto be licensed based on users. 1Provided ERP isotherwise licensed, no additional ERP User licenseis needed for use of the Digital Core resulting fromaccess by properly licensed SAP Applications.
